Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the News

Until the Church comes up with a "WHY" for the intersexed, there will be no answers for the homosexual/bisexual/rest of the acronexual membership, as I've been writing about for more than a decade: https://www.cougarstadium.com/forum/...-homosexuality

There's a great podcast on Spotify about Trevor Milton, the founder and CEO of electric truck startup Nikola from St. George. This guy is unreal in his ability to lie, cheat, and manipulate.

Oh man. I have been following this on the apple podcast app and it is amazing. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

The title of this thread is inaccurate. It should be Reprehensible Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the News.

Or ".... in the news for the wrong reasons."

I remember seeing a few positive stories at one point.

I’m not sure that changes SUs conclusion.

I’m not sure that changes SUs conclusion.

I took his observation to mean that there are so many good members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, this sampling of members is not a true representation of us.

Looks like the church did things right in this case...at least with the most recent church-related allegations.

I am friends with the reporter, and I’ve known the stake president my entire life (his son does my taxes). It sucks that dudes like this are seemingly everywhere.

Disgusting and, if the allegations are true, frustrating that he's avoided prosecution.

Absolutely disgusting to encourage someone to enter into a mixed orientation marriage. Honestly, that is worse than advocating for denying the right for LGBTQ people to marry.

From the stupidly rebranded Mormonsandgays.lds.org website (now https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/gay)

"We don’t counsel people that heterosexual marriage is a panacea. You’ll see in some of these experiences that are related on this site that it has been a successful experience in a few cases, or some have expressed the success they have found in marriage and in raising a family, and in the joy and all that has filled out and blessed their lives as a consequence. But that we know is not always true. And it’s not always successful. Sometimes it’s been even disastrous. We think it’s something that a person can evaluate, and they can discuss, and both with priesthood leaders and family and others, and make decisions. But we simply don’t take a uniform position on saying, ‘Yes, always,’ or ‘No, always.’” —Elder D. Todd Christofferson

I thought something to the effect of "don't counsel the SSA member to enter into a heterosexual marriage as a way to cure teh gay" was in the General Handbook at one time, but I'm not finding it in it's current iteration.

This is absolutely infuriating to read. Sometimes it ends disastrous? Make that on occasion it doesn't end disastrous.

It is unfair to both partners to be in a marriage without desire. Mixed orientation marriages are almost never a good idea.
